Holes And Dents

Small holes from anchors and nails get filled, sanded and primed. Larger holes, such as a doorknob strike or a hole left by a removed fixture, get a backed patch or a new piece of drywall screwed to blocking, then taped and finished with several thin coats of joint compound. Our handymen feather each coat wide so the repair blends into the wall instead of showing as a bump under raking light. We cover floors and clean up the dust, because reliable service includes respecting your home. We will ensure that your drywall repair in Wilmington is handled by professionals.

Cracks And Nail Pops

Cracks at the corners of doors and windows and along ceiling seams usually come from a house moving with the seasons. Wilmington's swings from freezing winters to hot, humid summers make framing expand and shrink, and tape joints and corners show it first. Our handymen cut out loose tape, re-tape with the right material and finish the joint so it holds. Nail pops are fixed by driving a screw beside the old nail, resetting the fastener and refinishing the spot. When you need crack repair in Wilmington, our team is ready to help.

Water-Damaged Drywall

A stain on the ceiling under a bathroom, or a soft patch under a window, means water got in. The first job is making sure the leak itself is fixed; plumbing leaks go to a Delaware-licensed plumber, and roof or window leaks to the right trade. Once the source is fixed and the area is dry, our handymen cut out drywall that is soft, crumbling or moldy, replace it, and seal remaining stains with a stain-blocking primer so they do not bleed through new paint. We are committed to making water-damaged drywall repair in Wilmington simple and reliable.

Plaster Walls In Older Homes

About 43 percent of Wilmington's housing was built in 1939 or earlier, so many walls in the city are plaster over wood lath rather than drywall. Plaster cracks, loosens from the lath and bulges, and it needs a different repair from drywall: loose sections are reattached where possible, cracks are bridged and filled, and missing areas are built back up so the patch sits flush with the original surface. Our team matches the repair to the wall you actually have. Plaster in homes built before 1978 may contain layers of lead paint, so tell us the age of your home when you call. Our team is focused on high-quality plaster repair across Wilmington.
